【新课标Ⅰ卷】“I am nt crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shrtly after perfrming acupuncture (针灸) n a rabbit. “I am ahead f my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even sme f his cwrkers ccasinally laugh at his unusual methds. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s ne f a small but grwing number f American veterinarians (兽医) nw practicing “hlistic” medicine-cmbining traditinal Western treatments with acupuncture, chirpractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate f Clrad State University, started ut as a mre cnventinal veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ag when he suffered frm terrible back pain.

And Priscilla Dewing reprts that her hrse, Nappy, “mves mre easily and rides mre cmfrtably” after a chirpractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the hlistic apprach will grw mre ppular with time, and if the past is any indicatin, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Hlistic Veterinary Medical Assciatin has grwn frm 30 t ver 700. “Smetimes it surprises me that it wrks s well,” he says. “I will d anything t help an animal.

【新课标ⅠⅠ卷】D yu ever get t the train statin and realize yu frgt t bring smething t read? Yes, we all have ur phnes, but many f us still like t g ld schl and read smething printed.
Well, there’s a kisk (小亭) fr that. In the San Francisc Bay Area, at least.
“Yu enter the fare gates (检票口) and yu’ll see a kisk that is lit up and it tells yu can get a ne-minute, a three-minute, r a five-minute stry,” says Alicia Trst, the chief cmmunicatins fficer fr the San Francisc Bay Area Rapid Transit — knwn as BART. “Yu chse which length yu want and it gives yu a receipt-like shrt stry.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 shrt stries and pems since the prgram was launched last March. Sme are classic shrt stries, and sme are new riginal wrks.
Trst als wants t intrduce lcal writers t lcal riders. “We wanted t d smething where we d a call t artists in the Bay Area t submit stries fr a cntest,” Trst says. “And as f right nw, we’ve received abut 120 submissins. The winning stries wuld g int ur kisk and then yu wuld be a published artist.”
Ridership n transit (交通) systems acrss the cuntry has been dwn the past half century, s culd shrt stries save transit?
Trst thinks s.
“At the end f the day all transit agencies right nw are ding everything they can t imprve the rider experience. S I abslutely think we will get mre riders just because f shrt stries,” she says.
And yu’ll never be withut smething t read.

Passage2
（2024·安徽合肥·三模）At the beginning f graduate schl, I knew that if I wanted t get tenure (长期聘用), I had t be prductive. Hwever, when my first three papers were rejected by majr jurnals, a leading expert tld me my prjects were hpeless, and I wndered if I shuld drp ut.
We all get rejected at wrk, whether it’s having ur suggestins sht dwn r getting fired frm a jb. It causes pain. Neurscientists (神经系统科学家) have scanned the brains f peple wh have cruelly been excluded frm an nline game. The physilgical (生理学的) respnse lks fairly similar t prcessing physical pain.
Apparently, this was adaptive in ur evlutinary past. If rejectin didn’t hurt, yu might have been perfectly cmfrtable leaving yur tribe, which wuld nt be gd fr yur survival. But it’s left us nervus and likely t verreact t everyday rejectins. If yu’ve ever given a presentatin and felt upset by the ne unfriendly face in a rm full f smiles, yu knw what I mean.
That’s the bad news. The gd news is that we can learn t accept rejectin calmly. “When yu’re insecure in ne, yu rely n the ther ne that’s ding better at that time. Pliability (柔韧性) is the definitin f strength,” said filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan.
When my wrk gt rejected early in my academic career, pliability became my surce f strength. My identity as a researcher was under threat, but that wasn’t what had drawn me t graduate schl in the first place. I had anther, strnger identity: I wanted t be a teacher. Hwever, I hadn’t had the chance: The first tw years f my prgram were suppsed t fcus entirely n research.
I realized that if I wanted t bunce back frm the research rejectins, I had t find a way t teach. I cnvinced an adviser t sign ff n independent study prjects fr a grup f students, and I started meeting with them weekly t teach my wn little class. The cnversatins with the students gave rise t my first tw majr papers, which gave me a head start tward tenure.
4．What was the authr’s reactin t the leading expert’s wrds?
A．He tk his advice.B．He felt discuraged.
C．He paid n attentin.D．He cnsulted anther expert.
5．What have neurscientists fund ut?
A．Rejectin really hurts.
B．Rejectin is imprtant t survival.
C．Peple tend t verreact t rejectin.
D．Physical pain grws because f rejectin.
6．What des the authr advise us t d when facing rejectin?
A．Find ut the reasns behind it.
B．Frgive thse wh reject us.
C．Turn t ur strnger identity.
D．Learn a lessn frm past failures.

Passage3

The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Methd, drilling int us the imprtance f frming big flwing lines when we wrte g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right ft. We were strictly prhibited frm using blck letters n ur hmewrk, as they lack the beauty.

（2024·黑龙江吉林·模拟预测）It tk an ill screech wl (鸣角鸮) t teach a scientist the value f up-clse-and-persnal study.

（2024·山东日照·模拟预测）Travelling seemed like falsehd t me. I grew tired f backpackers expressing t much praise abut hw petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transfrmed” them. Glbe-traveling t me held n mre prmise than finding a few bills in the pcket f an ld cat. I needed smething deeper than an Eat, Play, Lve mment.
One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me f ur decade-ld prmise: after ur final exams, I wuld visit his hmetwn in Athens. Maybe, it was time t make gd n that prmise.
I finally barded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airprt. I smiled, thinking hw imprbable this mment seemed all thse years ag.
The decade-lng wait prved t be well wrth it. Every step thrugh the ancient streets revealed new wnders. Hwever, nne f them truly mattered. What wuld frever alter my perceptin f travel was a chance encunter with a lcal.
Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sund caught ur attentin — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness f the residential street. Curiusly, we fllwed the sund t a humble wrkshp. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave n mind t ur presence behind him. He wre n flashy prtective suit — this was just anther day fr him, anther dance with fire and metal that had becme secnd nature.

I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning t his lving mment mved me t tears. Leaving the wrkshp, rain blending with tears, I realized hw easily life’s petry culd pass unnticed.
Hme again in Mntreal, I stp simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better peple that are never grasped. I realize the real jurney is inward — t appreciate life’s rdinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may nt have returned hme “transfrmed,” but I’ll always think f the welder and his cat.

At the end f my final training run, I threw myself dwn n the flr the mment I gt hme, nly t see my watch had failed me. Twenty-ne miles briefly flashed n the screen befre it went blank and disappeared frever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image f me crying n my living rm flr pretty much sums up my relatinship with exercise tracking technlgy.
It can be a ttal jy t watch yur data change as yu get strnger and faster, but smetimes it became a stick fr punishment.

T me, tracking was the rute t self-imprvement, and the pint was t be better.
In the past year, “being better” has taken n a different meaning. My mental health drpped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stpped meaning getting faster r strnger. It meant taking care f myself and feeling sme jy. Once I started getting better, I reflected n what made me happy and what did nt. S, I stpped tracking my runs and deleted all the data.
I then fund I genuinely lve running. I run arund my lcal park with a silly little smile. But I d nt lve running quickly. I d nt like races. I d nt want t be pushed t be faster. I nw ntice hw my legs feel and hw my mind feels afterwards — clear and fcused. I ntice the smell f the wild plants and the sunshine n my face.

This was smething Annette Kruger, an avid (热衷的) cyclist, saw that was true fr many wmen in Berlin, including refugees, wh’d mved t there. Whether they weren’t allwed r didn’t have the pprtunity t learn, these wmen had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling ffers.
That is why, seven years ag, Kruger started Bikeygees, a nn-prfit rganizatin fcused n teaching wmen t ride a bike. The grup members gather fr tw hurs fr training sessins every week. Advanced riders can brrw bikes and helmets fr free t practise n their wn.
The grup als teaches wmen hw t fix bikes, instilling (逐步培养) a sense f self-sufficiency, says Kruger. If they can d bike repairs, ride and learn the German rules f the rad, they are awarded with a bike kit, including a bike, a helmet, a bike lck and bike tls. Mre than 500 bikes have been dnated s far, and Kruger says the gal is t eventually prvide all participants with their wn bikes. T date, the grup has taught mre than 1,400 wmen and has met in mre than 20 lcatins within Germany, including in emergency shelters.

Passage10
（2024·河北·三模）Many bilgists are drawn t cean animals like sea turtles and whales. Fr me, the pale, blind creatures in the wrld’s darkest caves are mre attractive. As an underwater cave eclgist, I find and name new species. I have described eight new species f spnges (海绵物种) s far, seven f which live nly in caves. Smetimes I cunt the ppulatin f rganisms t see hw their numbers change ver time. I als study hw different species interact with ne anther and their envirnment.
When I start diving with my team members, there’s natural light arund us, but as we div e farther, it turns dark, and we switch n ur lights and fllw the cave line — a thin thread explrers leave behind fr divers t find their way in and ut f the cave. While sme caves are just a few meters lng, sme stretch ver 300 kilmeters and culd be deeper than 50 meters. Diving at this depth, yu might fall in narcsis,a state where the brain feels like it’s n a high, similar t being drunk. We might run int truble an hur r s away frm the cave entrance.
But the mysterius (神秘的) wrld we see inside is wrth the risk. I remember diving int El Aerlit Cave n Czumel Island in Mexic, where I recrded 101 species. My mst exciting encunter t date has been with remipedes — pisnus wrmlike creatures fund nly in underwater caves. It tk me arund 200 dives befre I came face t face with abut 15 f them hidden deep in the caves f Czumel.
These delicate ecsystems are rapidly changing due t water pllutin, climate change, and cnstructin activities. We might lse the many life frms in these deep, dark wrlds befre we can even begin t understand them. I’m determined t explre all I can while they still exist. I’m taking advanced diving lessns and learning new labratry techniques s that I can g even deeper int understanding this envirnment.

【新课标Ⅰ卷】“I am nt crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shrtly after perfrming acupuncture (针灸) n a rabbit. “I am ahead f my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even sme f his cwrkers ccasinally laugh at his unusual methds. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s ne f a small but grwing number f American veterinarians (兽医) nw practicing “hlistic” medicine-cmbining traditinal Western treatments with acupuncture, chirpractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate f Clrad State University, started ut as a mre cnventinal veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ag when he suffered frm terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but fund little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he imprved after tw r three treatments. What wrked n a veterinarian seemed likely t wrk n his patients. S, after studying the techniques fr a cuple f years, he began ffering them t pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dg Charlie had a serius heart cnditin. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared t put him t sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dg’s suffering s much that she was able t keep him alive fr an additinal five mnths. And Priscilla Dewing reprts that her hrse, Nappy, “mves mre easily and rides mre cmfrtably” after a chirpractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the hlistic apprach will grw mre ppular with time, and if the past is any indicatin, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Hlistic Veterinary Medical Assciatin has grwn frm 30 t ver 700. “Smetimes it surprises me that it wrks s well,” he says. “I will d anything t help an animal. That’s my jb.”

【新课标ⅠⅠ卷】D yu ever get t the train statin and realize yu frgt t bring smething t read? Yes, we all have ur phnes, but many f us still like t g ld schl and read smething printed.
Well, there’s a kisk (小亭) fr that. In the San Francisc Bay Area, at least.
“Yu enter the fare gates (检票口) and yu’ll see a kisk that is lit up and it tells yu can get a ne-minute, a three-minute, r a five-minute stry,” says Alicia Trst, the chief cmmunicatins fficer fr the San Francisc Bay Area Rapid Transit — knwn as BART. “Yu chse which length yu want and it gives yu a receipt-like shrt stry.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 shrt stries and pems since the prgram was launched last March. Sme are classic shrt stries, and sme are new riginal wrks.
Trst als wants t intrduce lcal writers t lcal riders. “We wanted t d smething where we d a call t artists in the Bay Area t submit stries fr a cntest,” Trst says. “And as f right nw, we’ve received abut 120 submissins. The winning stries wuld g int ur kisk and then yu wuld be a published artist.”
Ridership n transit (交通) systems acrss the cuntry has been dwn the past half century, s culd shrt stries save transit?
Trst thinks s.
“At the end f the day all transit agencies right nw are ding everything they can t imprve the rider experience. S I abslutely think we will get mre riders just because f shrt stries,” she says.

（2024·安徽合肥·三模）At the beginning f graduate schl, I knew that if I wanted t get tenure (长期聘用), I had t be prductive. Hwever, when my first three papers were rejected by majr jurnals, a leading expert tld me my prjects were hpeless, and I wndered if I shuld drp ut.
We all get rejected at wrk, whether it’s having ur suggestins sht dwn r getting fired frm a jb. It causes pain. Neurscientists (神经系统科学家) have scanned the brains f peple wh have cruelly been excluded frm an nline game. The physilgical (生理学的) respnse lks fairly similar t prcessing physical pain.
Apparently, this was adaptive in ur evlutinary past. If rejectin didn’t hurt, yu might have been perfectly cmfrtable leaving yur tribe, which wuld nt be gd fr yur survival. But it’s left us nervus and likely t verreact t everyday rejectins. If yu’ve ever given a presentatin and felt upset by the ne unfriendly face in a rm full f smiles, yu knw what I mean.
That’s the bad news. The gd news is that we can learn t accept rejectin calmly. “When yu’re insecure in ne, yu rely n the ther ne that’s ding better at that time. Pliability (柔韧性) is the definitin f strength,” said filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan.
When my wrk gt rejected early in my academic career, pliability became my surce f strength. My identity as a researcher was under threat, but that wasn’t what had drawn me t graduate schl in the first place. I had anther, strnger identity: I wanted t be a teacher. Hwever, I hadn’t had the chance: The first tw years f my prgram were suppsed t fcus entirely n research.
I realized that if I wanted t bunce back frm the research rejectins, I had t find a way t teach. I cnvinced an adviser t sign ff n independent study prjects fr a grup f students, and I started meeting with them weekly t teach my wn little class. The cnversatins with the students gave rise t my first tw majr papers, which gave me a head start tward tenure.

Glbe-traveling t me held n mre prmise than finding a few bills in the pcket f an ld cat. I needed smething deeper than an Eat, Play, Lve mment.
One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me f ur decade-ld prmise: after ur final exams, I wuld visit his hmetwn in Athens. Maybe, it was time t make gd n that prmise.
I finally barded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airprt. I smiled, thinking hw imprbable this mment seemed all thse years ag.
The decade-lng wait prved t be well wrth it. Every step thrugh the ancient streets revealed new wnders. Hwever, nne f them truly mattered. What wuld frever alter my perceptin f travel was a chance encunter with a lcal.
Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sund caught ur attentin — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness f the residential street. Curiusly, we fllwed the sund t a humble wrkshp.

I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning t his lving mment mved me t tears. Leaving the wrkshp, rain blending with tears, I realized hw easily life’s petry culd pass unnticed.
Hme again in Mntreal, I stp simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better peple that are never grasped. I realize the real jurney is inward — t appreciate life’s rdinary magic.

I wuld cmpare my pace with ther peple’s r criticize myself fr nt ding it 30 secnds faster. I never really recgnized this as a prblem. T me, tracking was the rute t self-imprvement, and the pint was t be better.
In the past year, “being better” has taken n a different meaning. My mental health drpped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stpped meaning getting faster r strnger. It meant taking care f myself and feeling sme jy. Once I started getting better, I reflected n what made me happy and what did nt. S, I stpped tracking my runs and deleted all the data.
I then fund I genuinely lve running. I run arund my lcal park with a silly little smile. But I d nt lve running quickly. I d nt like races. I d nt want t be pushed t be faster. I nw ntice hw my legs feel and hw my mind feels afterwards — clear and fcused. I ntice the smell f the wild plants and the sunshine n my face.
I am better. Smetimes I am wrse. But either way I’m mving frward slwly and firmly, and that’s gd enugh.

Passage9
（2024·山东·模拟预测）“It’s like riding a bike” is a cmmn cmment when yu want t remind smene that it’s hard t frget a basic skill. But what if yu dn’t knw hw t ride a bike?
This was smething Annette Kruger, an avid (热衷的) cyclist, saw that was true fr many wmen in Berlin, including refugees, wh’d mved t there. Whether they weren’t allwed r didn’t have the pprtunity t learn, these wmen had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling ffers.
That is why, seven years ag, Kruger started Bikeygees, a nn-prfit rganizatin fcused n teaching wmen t ride a bike. The grup members gather fr tw hurs fr training sessins every week. Advanced riders can brrw bikes and helmets fr free t practise n their wn.
The grup als teaches wmen hw t fix bikes, instilling (逐步培养) a sense f self-sufficiency, says Kruger. If they can d bike repairs, ride and learn the German rules f the rad, they are awarded with a bike kit, including a bike, a helmet, a bike lck and bike tls. Mre than 500 bikes have been dnated s far, and Kruger says the gal is t eventually prvide all participants with their wn bikes. T date, the grup has taught mre than 1,400 wmen and has met in mre than 20 lcatins within Germany, including in emergency shelters.
Participants have said that riding a bike allws them nt nly freedm f mvement — sme f the wmen use them t bring their children t schl—but als hpe fr the future. Kruger says that she can see the impact that cncentrating n a new skill has n the wmen. “We can’t replace what smene lst in their life, but we can ffer smething new. The success is measured in the smiles f the riders when they cnquer anther bike skill. She recalls ne student in her 60s wh cntinued t practice thrugh a bitter winter.” She said, “This is a dream fr me. I have been waiting my whle life t d this.”

Passage10
（2024·河北·三模）Many bilgists are drawn t cean animals like sea turtles and whales. Fr me, the pale, blind creatures in the wrld’s darkest caves are mre attractive. As an underwater cave eclgist, I find and name new species. I have described eight new species f spnges (海绵物种) s far, seven f which live nly in caves. Smetimes I cunt the ppulatin f rganisms t see hw their numbers change ver time. I als study hw different species interact with ne anther and their envirnment.
When I start diving with my team members, there’s natural light arund us, but as we div e farther, it turns dark, and we switch n ur lights and fllw the cave line — a thin thread explrers leave behind fr divers t find their way in and ut f the cave. While sme caves are just a few meters lng, sme stretch ver 300 kilmeters and culd be deeper than 50 meters. Diving at this depth, yu might fall in narcsis,a state where the brain feels like it’s n a high, similar t being drunk. We might run int truble an hur r s away frm the cave entrance.
But the mysterius (神秘的) wrld we see inside is wrth the risk. I remember diving int El Aerlit Cave n Czumel Island in Mexic, where I recrded 101 species. My mst exciting encunter t date has been with remipedes — pisnus wrmlike creatures fund nly in underwater caves. It tk me arund 200 dives befre I came face t face with abut 15 f them hidden deep in the caves f Czumel.
These delicate ecsystems are rapidly changing due t water pllutin, climate change, and cnstructin activities. We might lse the many life frms in these deep, dark wrlds befre we can even begin t understand them. I’m determined t explre all I can while they still exist. I’m taking advanced diving lessns and learning new labratry techniques s that I can g even deeper int understanding this envirnment.
